(N/A) The term $\Lambda _m$ represents the molar conductivity of an electrolytic solution.
It is defined as the conducting power of all the ions produced by dissolving one mole of an electrolyte in a solution of volume $V \ mL$.
In the given formula,$\kappa$ is the conductivity (specific conductance) in $S \ cm^{-1}$,$C$ is the molar concentration in $mol \ L^{-1}$,and the factor $1000$ is used to convert the concentration from $mol \ L^{-1}$ to $mol \ cm^{-3}$ (since $1 \ L = 1000 \ cm^3$).

Which of the following $N$ solutions of $NaCl$ has the maximum specific conductivity?

$A$ $KCl$ solution of conductivity $0.14 \, S m^{-1}$ shows a resistance of $4.19 \, \Omega$ in a conductivity cell. If the same cell is filled with an $HCl$ solution,the resistance drops to $1.03 \, \Omega$. The conductivity of the $HCl$ solution is $....... \, \times 10^{-2} \, S m^{-1}$.
